Stephen Pitarra and Brad Debo each had three hits, and NC State once again held on to a big lead late, however tenuously, to beat Pitt. The 8-6 win gave the Pack their fifth consecutive ACC win, evening their league record at 13-13, and they’ve won 10 of 11 overall to reach 30 wins on the season.
State held an 8-2 lead heading into the bottom of the eighth, when starter Brian Brown ran out of gas. Brown allowed the first two Pitt batters to reach and a then a Joe Dunand error helped open the flood gates for a four-run inning.
